Tropical storms move with the general circulation.

Tropical storms move over the subtropical Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, from east to west.

Tropical Storms thrive on warm, moist air, and are most intense over oceans in the warm season.

Explanation / Answer

35. Economic values halp us to identify things as resources for different uses.

There are presence of many natural resources. A minimum value defines the usefulness of those resources at an economic point, is called cut-off value. When a resource is proved as economical for exploration is then considered as reserves.

36. Two hundred million years ago Earth's continents were all joined together to form a supercontinent is known as Pangea.

The ocean surrounding the Pangea was known as Panthalassa. During the Mesozoic period, continents started to break up and two landmasses were formed i.e. Laurasia(northern continents) and Gondwanaland(Southern continents).

37. The rough ocean surface favours development of calm winds which are essential for storm generation - This statement is not correct for Tropical Storm.

Tropical storms are low pressure centers surrounded by closed isobars wherein winds move towards the center with the velocity ranging between 40-120km/hour. Many of these cyclones become violent and disastrous atmospheric hazards as they cause heavy rainfall.

38. Much of the North-central United states is actually overlain by ice deposited material known as Till.

Tills are the group of sediments deposited by glacial action. Sub-glacial melt gives rise to lodgement till, surface ablation gives ablation till and the general thaw of static ice produces melt-out till.
